Becoming a Global Superstar Starting as an Idol Trainee

Chen Minhao hurriedly apologized to the waiter, followed the waiter's pace and walked quickly to the cashier.

Chen Minhao smiled and said to the young lady at the cash register: "I'm really sorry, I thought my friend had already paid."

The young lady glanced up and down at the man wearing sunglasses and a mask, and smiled inwardly.

But no matter what she thought in her heart, she said with a smile on her face: "It's okay, it's okay, the total is 834 yuan, Alipay or WeChat?"

"Alipay."

"Okay, you scan here."

Just as Chen Minhao was about to take out his mobile phone to scan the QR code, Zhang Jianzhang strode back. He stopped Chen Minhao with his hand and said, "How dare you ask you to pay the bill? I asked you to come out for dinner, and I'm still your boss now."

Zhang Jianzhang turned to the lady at the cash register and said, "I'm sorry, I'm used to having an assistant by my side, so I left directly after eating. When I opened the car door, I just remembered that I didn't pay. I'm really sorry. How much is it, please?"

Chen Minhao immediately opened Alipay to scan the QR code, entered 834 yuan and the password, and said, "Who pays the same for the two of us? You are so polite, we both went out and came back."

Zhang Jianzhang saw that Chen Minhao had paid, so he didn't continue to struggle, and the two walked side by side to the hotel entrance.

Chen Minhao suddenly said: "Actually, I thought about what you said just now, and you are right. Squeezing artists is indeed not the long-term way for a brokerage company to develop, and I don't want the company I worked for to collapse."

Zhang Jianzhang was overjoyed and asked, "Have you changed your mind?"

Chen Minhao shook his head and said: "I should open my own studio. But even if I don't choose to stay in Shenmeng, I will find a way to help you remove obstacles."

Zhang Jianzhang nodded, but did not speak.

For a moment, he couldn't tell whether Chen Minhao really wanted to help, or he was just being polite.

Although he knew that if Chen Minhao could not replace Tian Xiang as the second shareholder, all the help could only be regarded as fishing for moons in the water and would not have any real effect. After all, if he wants to take Tian Xiang's shares, the investor will definitely not agree.

But if Chen Minhao really wanted to help, he would still be very grateful to Chen Minhao for having such a heart.

Although Chen Minhao had a plan in mind, he still chose to hide it and said, "I have to discuss with my manager Kang Hui about how to help. Do you think it's okay?"

Zhang Jianzhang nodded without hesitation.

He knew that even if he didn't nod his head, Chen Minhao would definitely tell Kang Hui what the two of them had communicated today, given that Chen Minhao and Kang Hui wore a pair of pants.

And he felt that Kang had already guessed his thoughts before returning, after all, that woman was not simple.

Chen Minhao said with a smile: "Okay, Mr. Zhang, then we will communicate after the discussion between Sister Kang and I has reached a conclusion."

The two walked to the door of the hotel, and Zhang Jianzhang waved goodbye to Chen Minhao.

Zhang Jianzhang felt that he still underestimated Kang Hui.

Chen Minhao is now undoubtedly a first-line male star in China, but he still has the attitude of discussing everything with Kang Hui.

Just looking at this point, Zhang Jianzhang was a little envious of Kang Hui, after all, in this era, there are not many such well-behaved artists with such a big name.

But after thinking about it, he remembered that when he was an actor, why didn't he rely on Tian Xiang just like Chen Minhao relied on Kang Hui?

When Chen Minhao returned home and opened the door, he saw Chen Qiang reading a book in the living room, fascinated by it.

As soon as Chen Qiang looked up, he found that after Chen Minhao came back, he put away the book in a hurry like a frightened rabbit.

He hugged the book tightly in his arms, not letting Chen Minhao see it.

Chen Minhao glanced at Chen Qiang suspiciously, thinking: He can't read Xiaohuang's book, right?

Before Chen Minhao asked, Chen Qiang took the initiative to say, "Brother Hao, I'm learning English."

Chen Minhao asked puzzledly: "Learning English is a good thing, what's there to be embarrassed about? Hurry up and hold the book so tightly, you can continue learning."

Chen Qiang still hugged the book tightly, he was stingy, and he didn't say a word for a long time.

Chen Minhao didn't think it was a big deal, so he didn't ask any more questions, and went directly to the study.

Sitting on a chair, Chen Minhao went through the conversation he had with Zhang Jianzhang today in his mind.

After all, when communicating with an actor like Zhang Jianzhang, the most important thing is to judge whether the other party is lying. If you only look up to see the cakes drawn by the other party, but don't look down to see the pits dug by the other party, then you will fall into the other party's trap.

Chen Minhao replayed the video twice. He felt that there was nothing wrong with Zhang Jianzhang's statement, and his motives and appeals were relatively clear. He initially judged that there was an 80% probability that he was not lying.

So the current situation is relatively simple: Zhang Jianzhang wants to part ways with Tian Xiang due to a problem with his philosophy, and he hopes to use himself to push Tian Xiang down.

The core of the negotiation is to consider the issue from the perspective of the other party. Chen Minhao closed his eyes and imagined that he was Zhang Jianzhang now.

Chen Minhao analyzed that Zhang Jianzhang proposed the current plan based on three reasons.

First of all, I am an artist. From a high probability point of view, I will not treat artists particularly harshly. On this point, I agree with Zhang Jianzhang's general policy.

Moreover, even if I have any different ideas, based on the former lesson of "Tian Xiang", I will not sing a different tune like Tian Xiang.

At this point, I can solve Zhang Jianzhang's rigid needs.

Secondly, from the perspective of feasibility, if Zhang Jianzhang finds someone else to replace Tian Xiang, the investor will definitely not agree.

In other words, Zhang Jianzhang had only one choice.

In the end, as an artist himself, he could bring value to Shenmeng.

Chen Minhao felt that this last point could only be regarded as icing on the cake.

Chen Minhao put himself in his shoes and thought that Zhang Jianzhang must be very reluctant to come up with such a condition, but he weighed the pros and cons, and finally made up his mind.

Zhang Jianzhang had calculated thousands of times but missed one point. He didn't calculate that his desire to go out and do it alone was so strong that he actually rejected this big fat guy.

After Chen Minhao cleared his mind, he rubbed his temples and called Kang Hui.

Kang Hui was the first to ask, "What did Zhang Jianzhang tell you?"

Chen Minhao did not answer Kang Hui's question directly, but instead asked: "Are you free tonight? Today's communication was beyond my expectation. Zhang Jianzhang resorted to Wang Zha, but he couldn't make out a sentence or two on the phone, waiting for you." Let’s talk about it when we get there.”

Kang smiled back and said, "Don't whet my appetite, I can't even concentrate on driving like this."

Chen Minhao hurriedly said, "No, you'd better drive hard. It's Zhang Jianzhang who wants to kick Tian Xiang out."

Kang Hui laughed and said, "Why did I think it was? I already knew about it. I just thought that you were about to leave Shenmeng. I didn't need to tell you the story of the two of them falling in love and wanting to kill each other. "

Chen Minhao paused and said, "Zhang Jianzhang wanted me to stay. He said that if I stayed in Shenmeng, he would give me 25% of Tian Xiang's shares."

"What? He plans to give you Tian Xiang's equity." Kang Hui said in surprise: "You are waiting at home for me to go to your house immediately."

Chen Minhao hastily added: "Don't worry, drive slowly."

Fifteen minutes later, the doorbell of Chen Minhao's house rang.

Chen Qiang wore an apron to open the door, and when he saw that the person coming was Kang Hui, he bent down and took out a pair of ladies' slippers from the shoe cabinet, and asked, "Sister Kang, I just made crucian carp tofu soup, would you like it?" Want a bowl?"

Kang Hui's mind is full of things now, so he dealt with it casually: "I won't drink soup today, I have something important to talk to Chen Minhao."

Chen Qiang stood there, feeling very hurt in his heart, and fell into deep self-doubt: Am I too busy learning English recently and neglected to make soup so that my cooking skills have declined?

As soon as Kang Hui entered the study, he said excitedly: "Zhang Jianzhang really told you that he is willing to give you Tian Xiang's equity in order to let you stay."

Chen Minhao corrected: "It can't be said that it is for me to stay. In essence, he still wants Tian Xiang to go, but if he wants to control Tian Xiang's equity, his holding will reach 50%, which will make him feel bad about God. Meng has absolute control, and the investors will definitely not agree with him. It can only be said that his approach kills two birds with one stone."

Kang Hui said happily: "Whether it's a fight between a snipe and a clam, the fisherman wins, or the mantis catches the cicada with the oriole behind, in short, you definitely made a lot of money with the 25% equity of Shenmeng.

Shenmeng is not a big player in the entertainment industry in China, but it has relatively mature trainee training in the country. There are you and Wan Anqi, two top names, and there are also some third- and fourth-tier stars who can support the scene, and the artist structure is reasonable.

The market expectations of the several online dramas invested so far are good. If there are no accidents, there should be a large amount of income next year.

In addition, the public relations and marketing channels are relatively complete, and it can be regarded as a unicorn company in the entertainment industry on the rise. And in the future, we can make better use of Shenmeng's public relations and marketing channels. After all, you can be regarded as one of the bosses by then. "

At this time, Kang Hui has fallen into yearning for a better tomorrow.

Chen Minhao coughed softly, and said, "But I have already refused."

In desperation, Kang Hui scolded directly: "Are you out of your mind? Shenmeng's 25% equity is much more valuable than you imagined."

Chen Minhao said with a smile: "But I still want to set up my own studio."

Kang Hui said earnestly: "Don't be foolish, our establishment of a studio is just a means, not a goal. Our ultimate goal is to make you a global superstar.

You chose to leave before because you were only a part-time worker in Shenmeng, but if you choose to stay in Shenmeng now, you can be regarded as the boss. We should work around it. "

Chen Minhao tapped the table with his fingers, and said: "But we agreed that we will definitely go out and start a studio, and I have already promised you 10 shares."

When Kang Hui heard this, she felt warm in her heart, her tone softened, and she said with a smile: "It's enough for you to have this kind of heart. In fact, I only want you to become a global superstar, which is actually second. If If I valued money so much, I probably wouldn't even be your agent."

Chen Minhao nodded and said, "Mr. Zhang told me that Wan Anqi asked you to choose between me and her."

Kang Hui rolled his eyes and said, "Why didn't I know that his man was such a badass."

Chen Minhao said on his own: "I still want to go out and we can do it alone. After all, if I stay in Shenmeng, you will still be a part-time worker, and it will be unfair to you."

Kang Hui asked in surprise: "Who told you that I was only working in Shenmeng?"
